Morgan made it home today around 10:30.
She had another good day yesterday, feeling stronger and getting more bored with the hospital as the day went on.
The drainage tubes came out this morning. Her magnesium level is now in the normal range. Her calcium level has gone up over the past couple of days, but it is still low. She is taking two different calcium supplements, one twice a day and the other four times a day. Both of these levels will be checked again at her post-op appointment on Thursday afternoon along with her thyroid hormone levels that she is getting through the synthroid medication.
Her incision is healing nicely. The swelling has gone down and there is very little bruising. She has disposable stitches and then surgical glue on the outside, so there will be no stitches to be removed. The glue will peel away in about 10 days. She is allowed to get the incision wet, just not allowing the water to soak into it.
Her voice is getting stronger each day. She is still talking in a whisper, but it is not as rhaspy.
She says she isn't in much pain, it is more like an aching in her neck/incision area. She said the area feels tight and the incision area is starting to itch.
